Texas Capital Foundation Announces Second Annual Honors Awards Grant Recipients
May 07 2024 - 10:00AM
Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: TCBI), the parent company
of Texas Capital, today announced the recipients of the Texas
Capital Foundation’s second annual Honors Awards. The awards
provide grants totaling $250,000 to support four nonprofit
organizations addressing community needs across Texas.
The Honors Awards are a signature program of the Texas Capital
Foundation, which Texas Capital launched in 2022 to fortify and
elevate its commitment to Texas communities. The awards include
three grants of $50,000 each that correspond to Texas Capital’s
three community impact pillars of “Live,” “Learn” and “Lift.” A
fourth $100,000 grant, the STAR (Supporting our Troops, Active and
Remembered) Award, is presented to an organization that provides
services to military members, families and veterans.
“The Texas Capital Foundation was established to expand and
elevate Texas Capital’s philanthropic giving in the communities we
serve across the state,” said Texas Capital President & CEO Rob
C. Holmes. “We are proud to honor these four nonprofits as
recipients of this year’s Honors Awards for their dedication to
improving the lives of Texans and expanding the reach of services
that are vital to building a brighter future for the state where we
are fortunate to live and conduct business.”
The Texas Capital Foundation’s approach to grantmaking focuses
on nonprofit organizations that operate in areas within the
firm’s footprint. Through the Honors Awards, the Texas Capital
Foundation aims to fund small to mid-sized organizations that serve
the greatest needs of communities. Recipients are selected through
a competitive grant application process.
The second annual Honors Awards winners are:
- Skillpoint Alliance, an Austin-based nonprofit workforce
development organization that provides in-demand workforce training
to vulnerable members of the Central Texas and Permian Basin
communities.
- SafeHaven of Tarrant County, a Fort Worth-based nonprofit with
a mission to end domestic violence through safety, support,
prevention and social change. As Tarrant County’s only
state-designated family violence program, SafeHaven has enabled
thousands of women and children to rebuild safe, independent lives
for more than 40 years.
- Lucille’s 1913 Kitchen, a Houston-based nonprofit that is
building a vertically integrated ecosystem to combat food
insecurity and waste, create training and employment opportunities
in traditionally under-resourced neighborhoods and empower
communities to discover a self-sustainable livelihood through
culinary and cultural arts.
- NextOp, a Dallas-based nonprofit with the mission to recruit,
develop and place high-performing enlisted military personnel into
industry careers. NextOp’s goal is to bridge the gap between the
military and industries in need of diverse and skilled
talent.
“We are very honored to receive the STAR Award and will use the
funds to enable our planned North Texas expansion,” said Shelby
Mounts, executive director at NextOps. “There are many veterans in
the Greater DFW area and many more who want to come here for the
region’s opportunities. Our career transition services aim to help
connect these veterans to great careers. We look forward to
building our relationship with Texas Capital and the DFW
community for many years to come.”
“The recipients of this year’s Honors Awards were selected for
their inspiring and innovative solutions to some of the greatest
challenges facing our communities,” said Effie Dennison, president
of the Texas Capital Foundation and head of Community Development
& Corporate Responsibility at Texas Capital. “We are honored to
recognize and support the work of these organizations to advance
our shared mission of empowering communities across Texas.”
